Feeding Envelop Stock
How a particular envelope performs in the WorkCentre Pro 555/575 
depends largely on the quality of the envelope. Envelopes come in 
many sizes, materials and styles. Before ordering or purchasing a 
large supply of any particular envelope, Xerox advises a short printing 
test of the candidate envelope through the WorkCentre Pro 555/575 
to be sure that the type of envelope performs satisfactorily.
To achieve continuous high-quality performance from the WorkCentre 
Pro 555/575, you need both quality-manufactured envelopes and 
careful, experienced use of the WorkCentre Pro 555/575.
CAUTION
Envelope characteristics are subject to change
based on the supplier, and on the particular batch of
envelopes from the same supplier ordered at
different times.
To assure maximum performance, select envelopes with the following 
characteristics:
Commercial, official, or business envelopes with diagonal seams.
Basic weight of 90gsm/24lbs for substrate papers of varying 
grades.
Grain direction: diagonal or straight (diagonal is preferred to 
maximise stiffness)
Adhesive: must not melt, offset, or emit hazardous chemicals 
when heated in excess of 195°C/383°F
Curl: should not have visible levels of curl.
Must not be wrinkled, have localised curl (around adhesive area) 
or damaged in any way
Must be square and straight
Avoid envelopes with:
Mechanical closures (tie strings or snaps)
Transparent windows
Folds that are not completely creased
Peel-off (strip release) adhesive strips
